Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center

Over spring break, Dan and I decided to cross another item off of our "Colorado Bucket List". My mom was also visiting us, so she tagged along for this fun excursion. We checked out the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center in Divide, Colorado, about an hour from Colorado Springs. It was amazing, and you can check them out by visiting their website HERE.

The mission statement for this organization is clear, and they want to help educate everyone about how wolves are treated in our country and expose the truth about how wolves live. I learned a lot from this tour, and I highly recommend it to all my animal-loving friends. It was a bit harsh at the beginning hearing about how poorly wolves are treated across the USA, but getting up close with the wolves later on made up for that. Plus, it is important to know. If people don't know, nothing will change. We have to be the change we want to see in the world.

Here is the mission statement, straight from their website:

There were also some chickens, coyotes, and foxes at the wildlife center, and they were super cute as well!

And now the gorgeous animals:

Adventures like this, my friends, are why I never want to leave Colorado. It's such a wonderful state to live in with so many things to do!
